This story is as horrific as many others like it, but generally they take place in Muslim-majority countries and receive little, of any, notice in the West. In this case, Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim cleansed his family’s honor not back home in Somalia, but in ostensibly civilized Sweden, and the news has traveled far and wide. But will anything be done to protect women in Sweden or anywhere else against this sort of thing? Come on, man!
The New York Post reported Thursday that Ibrahim, who enjoys the status of “refugee” in Sweden, “has been charged with murder for allegedly killing his seven-months-pregnant Swedish girlfriend rather than face the shame of introducing her to his strict Muslim family.” According to prosecutor Elizabeth Anderson, he killed his Swedish non-Muslim girlfriend, Saga Forsgren Elneborg, at her home in Örebro “by suffocating and strangling her by means of pressure on her neck with an impact on the trachea and the blood supply to the head.”
Pressure on her neck, as in “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Quran 47:4). But why did Ibrahim treat his girlfriend and the mother of his child this way? Anderson explained: “I mean that the murder took place in an honor context because the man wanted to preserve or restore his and his family’s honor by killing the woman who was carrying his child.”

How could cold-bloodedly murdering anyone restore anyone’s honor? In order to understand that, we must first try to grasp why Ibrahim didn’t want to “face the shame” of having Elneborg meet his “strict Muslim family.” Why would his relationship with her bring him any shame at all? The answer can be found in the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an. Ibrahim’s family would likely not have objected if he had married her, for the Qur’an allows Muslim men to marry women from the “people of the book,” that is, primarily Jews and Christians (although it does not all Muslim women to do so): “This day, good things are made lawful for you. The food of those who have received the book is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers and the virtuous women of those who received the book before you when you give them their marriage portions and live with them in honor, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret lovers. Whoever denies the faith, his work is vain, and he will be among the losers in the hereafter.” (Qur’an 5:5)
The problem for Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim is contained within that verse. “Not in fornication, nor taking them as secret lovers.” That’s exactly the situation Saga Forsgren Elneborg was in, and so Ibrahim couldn’t possibly introduce her to his family. The Post adds that “text messages between the couple revealed that Ibrahim told Elneborg shortly before her death that he would tell his family about her pregnancy — but he indicated he was nervous.” It’s no wonder that he was nervous: Elneborg’s pregnancy would leave no doubt as to their fornication and status as secret lovers. So what was he to do with the evidence of his transgression? In his mind, she had to be killed.
Anderson “said the investigation found no evidence that Ibrahim had told his family anything at all about his expectant girlfriend, who had planned to move in with him a week later.” What’s more, Ibrahim “had previously suggested to Elneborg that she get an abortion.” He wrote to her: “I know we can make it, but I won’t be able to keep my family. If it had been possible, there would have been no problem with keeping the child.” But Elneborg did not get an abortion, and Ibrahim stopped answering her messages. Then, “shortly after that, he allegedly went to her home and strangled her, the prosecutor alleged. Her unborn baby boy also was killed in the attack, officials said.”
Anderson explained: “He never told his family about Saga or the child. But the suspect has been raised in a standard of honor, and he has learned that it is not OK for him to date a white woman. He must date a woman of the same culture. If he doesn’t, he will be excluded.” The problem, however, wasn’t that Elneborg was white. It was that the relationship between her and Ibrahim was irregular from an Islamic standpoint. Killing her was the easy solution, although Ibrahim “has denied any wrongdoing and told investigators that he still loved his late girlfriend.” Love, however, has nothing to do with any of this.
Such situations are all too common. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
To notice any of this, however, is to be “Islamophobic.” And so the one certainty in this sad case is that many more women in Sweden and all over the West will be murdered in similar circumstances.

MUSLIMS, speaking from Personal experience, put women down by using sexual Innuendo or making out they are sluts (and NO SOME WOMEN ARE NOT). Just putting this out there. So ladies if you’re involved with one watch out.

Any woman involved with a muslim man? Is an idiot. And she deserves anything she gets. Nothing of which will be anything good.
Over the years I’ve seen that the only women who convert or get involved with these subhumans? Are utterly lacking in self esteem.

Islam is NOT a religion, it’s a totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion. And as long as we fail to acknowledge that truth, its followers will continue to set the world on fire.

Traditional Christian countries have seen a decline of church attendance and belief in Biblical morality while simultaneously welcoming Islamic immigrants with open arms despite traditional hostility of Islamics to Christianity and to all non-Islamic belief systems. Without commitment to Christ Western civilization will collapse.

BTW, in UK muslims are actively encouraging (by intimidating) other male prisoners to convert to Muslim ism. Get the new converts to fight their battles. Nice one. I winder what prison authorities think of this? Will they intervene? I’m so worried about our world’s future. Kids at school, neighbours. This is so wrong. Why are western countries allowing this!!!!!!!

Jeffrey L.: Anyone who believes that the Bible is a source of morality hasn’t read the Bible, carefully, all the way through, with no cherry picking.
There are plenty of verses in the Bible like this one on ‘morality’.
“If anyone, even your own family, suggests worshiping another God, kill them” (Deuteronomy 13:6-10).

A society that allows biological men to invade women’s spaces (and much, much more) is one that will also allow atrocities like this. In other words, throwing women under the bus and leaving them hang out to dry.

I’m not aware of any Muslim women around the world who are particularly focused on changing these customs.
It seems to me it’s like the slaves in the antebellum South — where the slaves themselves would acknowledge that it’s occasionally necessary for the massa to kill a slave , but never ok for a slave to harm the massa.

Frankly, WE need a new standard of “honor” in the West, that would REQUIRE the execution of anyone who performs a “honor killing”. WE have our “honor” too. It’s just a matter of the gov’ts in the West Growing a “pair”.

Sadly the so-called men in positions of power in the West are mostly emasculated, sissified, weak & ineffectual towards the vile threat of the backward 3rd world, emotionally retarded muslims swarming & endangering Western societies. Feminazi types are little better, shrieking & shouting about misogyny & sexism only if the perps are whites, never muslim or non-white for fear of being judged way-cist!

Try telling a liberal friend about any of these things and they trot out the usual, Christians used to commit such atrocities. Why can’t these apologists stop living in the past. Why can’t they accept that not all cultures are compatible? I am so sick of people who cannot handle the truth, who blanch like lilies when anything of substance is mentioned. People who are anti American, yet because of the freedoms still left to us, are able to insulate themselves. They never see the irony, and they never will until their world collapses around them.

“Try telling a liberal friend about any of these things and they trot out the usual, Christians used to commit such atrocities.” I usually have to “trot out”the question: When, when did Christians EVER do that?

The depth of savage ignorance within these sad, sad excuses for human beings is beyond any eloquence to adequately describe. Their brains are so twisted out of shape by their agonisingly primitive religion that those that are this far gone beyond the Pale cannot be tolerated to keep company with civilised humanity. The main problem is the fact that the rules of Islam have been cunningly constructed so that no modification is permitted. Not one word may be altered or gentled. They need to be partitioned into their own section of the world and kept well away from the rest of the world so that they have nobody to wreak their savagery upon except themselves.

I realize this will be a minority opinion considered cruel and racist, but I think there is some validity. I think the victim bears some responsibility for her own murder by getting involved with the animal in the first place. People are so quick to surrender themselves to lust that they don’t think about the myriad of possible consequences. People know what Muslim men are all about. Unless one buys into their brand of nonsense and radicalism, one would be better served by staying as far away from them as humanly possible. Her life was by all accounts over anyway. However, that doesn’t excuse his savage behavior. He should hang.

He could very well have married her before she got pregnant. This sound to me like an excuse to murder. It’s that del of Muslims have a right to lie so they can pull off their schemes. It is my firm belief that every American regardless of walk of life needs to educate themselves on Muslims/Islam. Take the time and at least do the research and learn the basic structure of how they operate. Muslim is the religion; Islam is not a religion nor is it the religion, Islam simply means total dedication of which there is no backing out of. Not all Muslims join Islam for which they can be killed. I do not agree with them any part of them serving in our government because they hold an unwavering allegiance to their cause which is to dominate the entire world. The Democrats don’t seem to get it, they would kill JB/KH in a heartbeat and think nothing of it. What JB is doing is putting every American in harm’s way. As long as he is in office we are paying for our own demise…Southern border, case and point.

“The problem, however, wasn’t that Elneborg was white.” A simple look at her picture shows that Saga Forsgrenshe Elneborg, despite her Swedish name, was anything but White – apparently a mixture of African and Asian ancestry.
